Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) has signed a series of contracts worth more than QR2.2bn to develop and strengthen the electricity network in the western region, as it moves to connect the Dukhan Solar Power Project to the national grid.
The deals were awarded to several qualified local and international companies, including Voltage Engineering LTD, the Best & Betas Consortium, Larsen & Toubro, and LS Cable.
The contracts fall within Kahramaa’s strategic initiatives to link the Dukhan solar plant to the network in the country’s west.
The scope of work covers engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) for building and upgrading substations, as well as installing underground cables and overhead lines.
The projects support Kahramaa’s efforts to ensure secure and efficient integration of renewable energy into the grid, boost its capacity to absorb rising solar power generation, and improve overall network flexibility and performance.
The total value of the contracts reflects the scale of investment dedicated to strengthening network readiness and ensuring long-term system stability.
President of Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation Engineer Abdulla bin Ali al-Theyab said the expansion of the network in the western region would have a positive impact on service reliability and quality for customers, meeting current and future electricity needs.
"This step further strengthens Qatar’s regional position in adopting advanced clean energy solutions.
At Kahramaa, we continue to advance a more resilient and efficient electricity network capable of integrating renewable energy sources and supporting supply security,” he said.
Through these projects, Kahramaa reaffirmed its commitment to developing high-efficiency electrical infrastructure, continuing to implement strategic plans that enhance network reliability and service quality while keeping pace with rapidly rising demand and the development needs of all regions across the country.
